Dear Keith,
Thank you for the excellent pricing on our Filter Queen vacuums. I will be ordering an additional 12 vacuums over the next 6 months, four vacuums have already been ordered. I would also like to add that my cleaning stuff, and supervisors, are extremely satisfied with the performance of the Filter Queen model ssg-93. Over the years we have used other brands of vacuum cleaners and in our opinion the Filter Queen have proven to be the perfect solution for a Hospital setting.

Dear Mr. Petersen,
The Alpine Living Air Machine has given me back my life. My daughter and I suffer with allergies. At times it has been disabling. My daughter’s allergies triggers asthma attacks. My allergies attacks my upper respiratory system. Both of us have had countless sinus infections. The amount of various prescription inhalers, nasal sprays and allergy medication in my medicine cabinet is enormous. I would have to change medications periodically because even the prescribed medication had little or no effect. Last winter I got a severe attack. I was flat on my back for five weeks, and continued to be ill to some degree for four months after that. During that time we purchased the COM AIR EAGEL 2500. In the short time that we have had this in our house, I am off inhalers and nasal sprays. My allergies have been greatly alleviated.
My daughter’s allergies, which are usually in full bloom at this time of the year are not at all visibile. She does not get winded running around the house. We both suffer with horrible headaches. These headaches are few and far between. My husband’s night cough has subsided and my son does not wake up sneezing. My father, who is the king of headaches, comes to visit and within a day’s time his headache is gone.
Thank you for having this air purifier available. Although other stores may offer air purifiers, the type that is available is not efficient for household with allergies and respiratory problems. We run our unit 24-hours a day, seven days a week. This is as important in our house as having running water. We cannot live without it. I am not exaggerating when I say that it saved my life. I truly believed I was going to die this past winter. I was never as sick as I was this winter. This is not part of a scheme it is the honest truth. My family has the Petersen’s and the Alpine Living Air Machine Company to thank for giving us quality back in our life.

Respectfully,

Dear Mr. Petersen,
I wish to thank you for recommending the Alpine Living Air Machine (Model XL-155) which I purchased from you last year.
After setting up the machine and letting it run for several days, I noticed that my respiratory allergies (stuffy nose) were completely gone!!!
Since then, it has been running for 24 hours a day and my breathing has become much easier. The air in my room smells fresh and clean, just like unpolluted outdoor air after a rain shower.
Again, I wish to thank you for recommending and the Alpine Living Air Maching company for making such a marvelous air purifier that really lives up to its name.

Sincerely,

Dear Keith,
Thank you very much for selling the filter for me. I received the check last week. You went out of your way for me, and I am very grateful. I thought your most outstanding personality trait was simply a quirky sense of humor, but now I see that generosity & honesty are really your strong points.
Whenever I need something that you carry in your store, I’ll be sure to stop in.

Thanks again,
Bill

Dear Mr. Petersen,
Thank you for introducing us to the Alpine Living Air Machine. We are all breathing easier. The air we are now breathing smells a lot cleaner too.
We have a small Dachshund that we purchased while living abroad, which seemed to need a weekly bath to eliminate that “doggy” smell. Since we have been using the Alpine Living Air Machine we have noticed that 1) the dog doesn’t seem to smell anymore and 2) the house doesn’t smell “doggy”.
A friend from Massachusetts visited us for a week last month. Past visits were full of complaints about allergies and breathing discomforts. Happily this visit we had none of those complaints. What we heard instead was how well she had slept and how easily she was breathing (hooray!). She had recently spent a LARGE sum of money making her home a more allergy free environment. Although she told us that her Asthmatic condition had improved with her additions, she also told us that her expensive improvements didn’t make her feel as good as our little air purifier had!
During our year and a half in Europe, I honestly do not remember not feeling “stuffy”. It felt like I had a perpetual cold. Can I attribute feeling better to the Alpine Living Air Machine? Maybe, maybe not…all I know for a fact is that I am back to normal and breathing well again since we have had our little air purifier!
Although no one in my family has asthma, or any known allergies we are all breathing better, feeling better (and smelling better :), woof…). Thanks again.

Dear Keith,
Thanks so much for introducing us to the XL 15 air purifier, as it has changed our lives dramatically. About 2 years ago when we first purchased this wonder-machine, we had a lot of painting going on in our kitchen. Every day we were forced to endure an “itchy” and instable environmental – I remember being able to feel the air particles go up my nose. However, when we flipped switch of the XL 15, within 1 hour, my nose was HAPPY. It felt so good, so wonderful, truly an amazing conversersion of the air quality.

Dear Mr. Petersen,
I have been wanting to write this letter for some time now, but it seemed I was either raising kids, working or didn’t have access to a PC in order to find out who it was that made Filter Queen an integral part of my life growing up.
It all began in Texas, it was either ’66 or ’67…I came home from a friends house and noticed that our living room was full. I have seven brothers and sisters (most of them were present), my mom and a really nice man were working with what I soon learned was a new type of vacuum. This was no ordinary vacuum by any means; it could do all sorts of things. The man massaged my brothers’ head with one attachment, made suds to clean furniture and such with another…well, I’m sure you know the list. My four sisters and I were already planning on drying our hair, if, mom bought it. The Filter Queen was amazing; it had several interchangeable heads for different floor surfaces. We all knew that we could not live without this vacuum.
This is where my story gets interesting…the eight of us kids ranged in age from 1 to 13, my mother was (of course) a stay at home mom and my dad worked as a salesman making $10,000 a year in sales. He came home right after my mom bought the Filter Queen from the nice man. My father was livid but after one day I realized who really was the best salesman in the house and it wasn’t my dad. My mom convinced Dad that with all the kids she had and all the things she had to do, she needed that vauum; and he agreed. My father loves my mother very much, 54 years together as of this March.
My dad loved that vacuum…he taught us all how to really do a good job vacuuming by using the Filter Queen. Over the years we moved several times and the Filter Queen was always the first item to enter the house and the last item to leave. We eventually moved to Arizona and lived pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Dust was always getting in the house and there was no way to prevent it. As we grew up our houses got bigger and bigger with several types of floor covering and the Filter Queen was always ready for the job. Every time one of my brothers or sisters moved out they always borrowed the Filter Queen, once again it being the first thing in and last thing out. My older sister and her husband installed tile throughout their entire house (by themselves) what a mess it was, they had to keep the Filter Queen at their house for almost two weeks but it did the job with no complaints.

It was a pleasure meeting you and purchasing my snow blower your company. You guys remind me of the days when people actually knew about the products they were selling. I have been trying to locate that Stihl sythetic oil for 3 years. I wish that I had purchased my 4 mix weed wacker from you instead of the outfit I did. They didn’t even know that Stihl offered a synthetic oil or that the 4 mix motor should use it. I will have service for you on my mowers, 4 mix wacker, and of course snow blower…
Thanks Keith

Dear Keith
It was a pleasure doing business with you. The HONDA ES6500 generator I purchased was everything you said it was, and more!
The licensed experienced electrician that installed the subpanel and the home hook up was amazed with the generator’s efficiency. He was also very impressed on how quiet the generator ran.
After his installation, we conducted a test. While the ES 6500 was running, my home furnace was turned on, as well as a light in every room, home computer, TV, refrigerator, and some electrical appliances. The ES6500 did not strain at all, the generator’s imonitor panel did not register any problems, nor did the engine’s noise increase significantly.
I would highly recommend The Eardly Petersen Company of Westfield to anyone seeking to purchase a quality home generator.

I’m very pleased with my Alpine air purifier unit as it is especially compact being 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2 ” x 2 1/4″ and easily portable within home and abroad.
Its economy involves a one time investment (purchase) with no filters and a 5c per day worth of electricity. Its use not only expunges embarrassing household odors but incorporates the fresh wholesome aura of outdoor elements into my indoor health, life and oxygen. It is conveniently regulated and maintenanced according to the individual preference of ozone density, out-put and shut-off.
This state of the art applicance stands up to current technological performance along with a 3-year warranty.

Dear Mr. Petersen,
You may recall that you sold me a Model XL-15 Living Air cleaner last spring when I came in to inquire about an air filter or de-humidifier for my brother’s home near the Jersey shore. I told you about the extremely foul musty smell in his house, and even the same unpleasant odor in his clothes. I also mentioned the difficulty he was having with his health, inclduing some serious difficulty breathing, causing a few emergency trips to the hospital.
I had not intention of purchasing the XL-15 unit initially, because a neighbor had told me how successful his daughter had been in solving a similar prolblem with a de-humidifier. But you were so sure that htis unit would be a “God-send” that I decided to purchase it. But I never thought hat it would work out like it has.
Within a few months, the miserable odor in that house was gone. We were astonished that even the odor in his clothes had disappeared. We placed the unit on a special shelf high in his living room and have left it on 24 hours per days, except in the summer when the windows are open. Even the odor in the basement, which was the most offensive and oppressive of all, has gone.
But most important of all, his health has improved considerably, especially his breathing. For a long time, he was seriously thinking his life was ending because of these problems. Now he decided to modernize the place with new vinly windows throughout the house.

Sincerely,
R. Purdy

Dear Keith
Just a quick note of Thanks! and a guarantee for life-long referrals to the “The Eardley T. Petersen Co.”!!
The courtesy you extended to me was beyond any service I have ever experienced, especially in this day and age…I have enclosed the registration card which requires your signature. It’s already stamped so just drop it in the mail. Just one question: the instruction booklet indicates a one year warranty and in speaking with you, you indicated two years. At your convenience, I’d like to clear that up.
I have taken the liberty to enclose our business card. Hopefully someday if you or your family are in need of physical therapy, we will have the opportunity to extend to you the same quality of professional services that you gave to me.

Very truly yours,
J. El Touny

P.S. The machine is super!!
